Just- Suppose
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord would begin tomorrow to make
people as sick as they claim to be on Sunday.
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord would take away the child whom the
parents use as an excuse for staying away from church.
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord should make the people as poor as
they claim to he when asked to help finance the Lord's
program,
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord would have everyone stoned to death
for covetousness as was Achan,
JUST SUPPOSE the Lord should let some parents look into the
future and see what their examples of lax control did for their
children.
Why notattend your church this Sunday. If you do not attend any
church, you are as welcome as the flowers in May at the
services as listed,
